Keane - Somewhere Only We Know



El tema de apertura del disco Hopes And Fears. Somewhere Only We Know es una cancion sencilla, con un ritmo tranquilo y progresiones hermosas, fiel representante del Brit Pop taciturno.

Recuerdo que un vez la escuche, no recuerdo donde, y me quedo en la mente, solo que nunca supe su nombre. Debia tener unos 13 años cuando la escuche la primera vez. Y en la secundaria conoci a un amigo, que iba con su iPod a todos lados y me recomendo Keane. Tenia casi los mismos gustos musicales que yo, solo que yo estaba mas enfocado hacia Coldplay. Y bueno, me anime a escucharlos y... encontre la cancion que andaba buscando, y es la que les estoy mostrando ahora.

En sus letras habla sobre aquel lugar especial en el que te sientes a gusto. No es solamente un lugar fisico, puede ser un sentimiento, son palabras de Richard Hughes, baterista de la banda.

En fin, los dejo con esta bella melodia.




I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when, you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So, tell me when you gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know...


Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So, tell me when you gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, so why don't we go?

This could be the end of everything.
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know.
